Barney Gibbs and the Business Nan
ager of the Austin Evening
Call Come to Blows.
Some Newspaper Paragraphs and Personal
Gossip AnEwereh by a Few Raps
on The Uranium.


Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX. Feb. Some excite
ment and amusement was caused late II
the afternoon by fight in the Driskil
hotel between Barney Gibbs and MIR
Bennett, business manager of the Even
ing Call. In that sheet this evening sp
peared an editorial paragraph alluding tC
the time Gibbs went on TO Washington
last year and is alleged to have
prepared sundry bills for Reagan
TO introduce in the House. The
paragraph stated that when Senator Rea-
gan was told of the rumor in Washington
he merely alluded to Mr.. Gibbs as the
monumental liar of Texas. This evening
Mr.. Gibbs wrath was kindled against the
editor, and taking cane he Sc out to
hunt him up. He found him at the
Eriskill The interview began by MIR.
Gibbs intimating that the editor was de-
scendant of Ananias, or words to that
effect. at which same time he lightly tap
ped on Benefits Uranium as if to test his
skull. The editor not fancying this, haul
ed back with his own stick and dealt the
x-Lleutenant-G Governor vigorous blow.
uC1 jail OpChCu dhu VIC boiluS pOll-
tician was seemingly getting the better of
the quill-driver when bystanders inter-
fered and stopped further proceed
ings. Gibbs, who left tonight for
his home in Dallas, stated to q
friend before leaving that it was not so
much the publication of the paragraphs
in the Call hat incensed him as the fact
that Bennett stated to Ex-Governor Ire
land and to friends of that gentleman
yesterday that Gibbs had sold him out
to the Reagan forces. Gibbs
has been devoted and con-
sistent friend of Ex-Governor Ireland
and charge of disl yslty was rasping to
him, and was intensified by the perso al
circulation of the charge which he claims
that Bennett made. Gibbs said further
that he had committed himself to Ireland
long before Resgan was announced, and
he kept his compact so long as there was
a living chance for Ireland to win When
he saw that II was impossible
to secure his election be did
not believe it was right to longer continue
to fight the manifest choice of the Legis-
lsture. Gibbs in the conversation said
that so long as he was public officer hit
was content to pass uunoticed eli IN
fri ndly criticisms upon hin, but now
that ne was merely private citizen he
to defend himself as would any
other man.

10 Per Cent.
CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 21.-At q meeting
of the Barb Wire Pool here to-day, q
general advance of from to 10 per cent.
in prices was adopted, to take effect i'm
mediately. Fifty agencies Of Washburn-
Moen, composing the pool, Were all rep!

they want it. He said the pool
is about to cooperate with the Smooth

output of smooth wire and barb wire
corresp ondingly, and that over produc-

A DARING CONsPIRAg. :
An Anarchist Plot to Save Spies and nts
Fellow Prisoners.

An Anarchist Plot to Save Spies and his
Fellow Prisoners.
CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 3l.-Police Captain
Schask in an interview to-day admitted
that he had been for over a fortnight in
vestigating what appeared to be an an
archist plot to save Spies and his fellow
conspirators from death on the gallows.
Within month there has been q marked
revival of interest in the anarchist meet
ings in this city, and the efforts of the
police to keep track of their proceedings
has been redoubled. As a result Captain
Schaak came into possession of a draw
ing which was recognized as the base
ment plan of the Jail and Criminal court
building 1t was accurate in every par
ticular. Even the sewers and waste pipes
we're located. The basement plans of
the buildings on Clark street ex-
tending to the Jail alley were
also shown. From certain of these
building lines were drawn which
met in tae center of the Jail yard. An
investigation showed that the easements
indicated were those for rent or of which
the leases could not be purchased. Cap
tain Schaak's inquiries led to the theory
that the lines centering in the Jail yard
represented possible or projected tun-
nels. Negotiations had been entered into,
for the lease of one of the Easements by
prospective shoe dealers, who stipulated
for division OF the basement by 8 close
partition separating the front from the
back. Boxes were to be delivered and
taken from the rear entrance. A close
watch was kept, but without result, and
the hope OF catching the conspirators has
been abandoned. Captain SchaaE be-
lieves that the design was to cheat the
gallows by blowing up the condemned
anarchists, and with them the officers
delegated to conduct the execution. IL
the tunnels were designed to enable the
anarchists to escape the lines would not
reach to the Jail yard, but rather to the
ilil itself

angle of the 1.-The base line
tending to Richmond on the right
and Prestonsburg on the left, the
upper limb tending to Huntington,
w. Va. From Paris, via Prcstons-
burg and Hinton, is the air line
to Richmond, Va, and a hundred
miles, at least, shorter than the
present route via Ashland and
Huntington.
Crossing the Kentucky river at
Leestown, thence via Belle Point
and up the left branch Of Benson
to Hardinsville and on to Shelby
vile, would be the nearest route to
Louisville by ten or fifteen miles.
This line would probably force the
construction by the L. & n. Of the
gap from Hatton to Shelbyvil]e,
giving an air line from Paris to
Shelbyville.
If capitalists are slow to take
advantage of so favorable an enter
prise as the Frankfort & Paris r.
r., what is to hinder the people of
Franklin, Scott, Bourbon and
Montgomery making contract
with Mason, Foard & Co., and
building the road themselves?
They can build and own it for less
money than capitalists ask as
contribution, merely, to the enter
prise. If an active man, like Pres
ident Grady, Of Woodford, can
secure the building Of a railroad
from Versailles to Midway, and
thence to Georgetown, surely
there is enterprise and manage
ment and skill enough to De found
in four counties to build railroad
through rich country, and tap
ping big lines OF railroad from
Frankfort to Paris and Mt. Ster-
ling.
Can't the Board Of Trade inter
view Mason, Foard & CO. on the
subject?

FrankfOrt's Railroad Sys-
tenn.

my O'iS wiz VIII gam CT e''S
map Of Central Kentucky and its
railroad connections, will not fail
to see that Frankfort is situated,
geographically and in its trade re
lations, in such a position as to
command, at some date, the con-
struction of at least two additional
lines Of railway.
The energies Of our citizens
should be urgently directed to
bring about the immediate, and not
remote, building of these lines.
The Louisville Southern road is
not only under contract, but is be-
ing actually constructed from Shell
byville, via Lawrenceburg and
Harrodsburg, to Danville. AT
Lawrenceburg this road, which has
tended little south of east from
Shelbyville, makes almost right
angle, and runs due south, almost,
through Harrodsburg to Danville,
where it connects with and perpet-
yates continuous line to Chatta
nooga via the Cincinnati Southern
Railway. Tending northward from
Danville Junction, it is more Of
direct line to Lawrenceburg via the
Louisville Southern. than to Lex
ington via the Cincinnati Southern.
Frankfort is almost due north
from Lawrenceburg, and the fact
that it will not be necessary to
bridge the Kentucky river in build.
ing a road to connect with the
eastern and western lines, gives it
an immense advantage over the
route from Lawrenceburg to Yer
sailles. Then, again, Frankfort
is the only town Of any size on the
Kentucky river, in the hundreds of
miles from its source to its mouth.
A railroad from Frankfort to Law
renceburg, connecting with the
Louisville Southern now construct
ing. would be easily and richly fed
by water freights coming by boats
both up and down the river. Ele-
vators constructed on the river
bank could rapidly and cheaply
load river freights from the boat
direct into the cars. This can be
done with less outlay and more ex-
peditiously than at any other point
on the river.
We suggest. therefore, that our
Board Of Trade confer with the
builders of the Louisville Southern
with a view to the construction of
the Frankfort and Lawrenceburg
railway.
A glance at the map will equally
show that the Frankfort, Paris &
Georgetown railroad is a business
necessity. From Frankfort to
Paris via Georgetown is almost a
straight line as the crow flies.
Connection is made with the Gin
,innati Southern at Georgetown
md with the Kentucky Central
md Paris & Maysville roads at
Paris. 1t is the short route to
and the East via the
Ohio Valley railroad now building.
The country is rich in agricultural
At Paris, too, the

Wheat harvest is over and there is a
broad grin of satisfaction on the faces of the
farmers of this section. Corn is looking
well-the fruit is ripening and seems to be
abundant and delicious, and even the melon
crop promises to be success this summer.
Archdale is enjoying its summer vacation,
or rather rest. 1t is quiet-not much news
afoat business pretty active, though-the
sash and blind and shuttle factory is in full
blast-the teams still perform their daily
journey down into Randolph for lumber.
D. NJ. Petty and M. Hammond, proprietors,
are active men and do not allow their bust
ness to push them-but always push it.
The spoke and handle factory and saw
mill of this place, which has been idle so
long, has been purchased by Dr. J. NJ.
Worth, and will soon add additional life
and energy to this pretty little village nest
ling among the hills.
